I almost didn't get this due to some of the "critic" reviews, but I am so glad I did. Storyline, game mechanics, character development,. just fun to play, the game delivers, delivers, delivers. I really like the aspect of othe way you send out your troops on side missions , which extends your influence, gain additional resources, and levels them up when they are not in your current party of four. A truly great find - whether the dev team was a partty of three or one of the bigger league players.
